The above software method works the same for all iPhones. However, for the iTunes method the steps vary. This is because getting your iPhone into recovery mode uses different key combinations depending on which iPhone you own. The steps are outlined accordingly below.

Via iTunes – Method 1

Connect your iPhone to a computer and open iTunes.

Choose your iPhone from the left menu in iTunes.

Then click the Restore button in iTunes. You may opt to perform a back up as well.

After confirm the info on the screen and click Restore.

iTunes then downloads, prepares and restores the software on your iPhone.

Once done, choose “Set up as a new iPhone“.

Enter a name for your iPhone and continue as needed.

Via iTunes – Method 2

Plug your iPhone into your PC, or laptop.

Power off your iPhone.

Then hold the Power button for about 3 seconds.

Press and hold the Home button with Power button for about 10 seconds.

After, release the Power button.

Once the alert on your PC screen reads that iTunes detected your iPhone is in recovery mode, let go of the Home button.
